monday's attack. as kirkpatrick said, there's always the blame america first crop. that's all the time we have. the news continues with greta next! tonight, did the fbi miss giant red flags, and is that a really bad sign? >> how in the world could we have missed these two guys? >> some late-breaking details on the investigation of the boston marathon bombings. details epercentage about tamerlan's travels. >> when he camelback to the country, why didn't it ring a bell with the fbi intelligence unit that he should be checked out? >> their conclusion was that they did not have any derogatory information or information that showed terrorist activity, foreign or domestic. >> we know that the russians had sent notice that we should take a look at this. and we did. the fbi said they did a thorough

investigation but obviously it wasn't thorough enough. >> in regard to the older brother of the two people, was your department aware of his travels to russia? and if you weren't, the reason? >> yes. the system pinged when he was leaving the united states. by the time he returned, all investigations had been -- the matter had been closed. >> after having talked to the fbi, they told me they had no knowledge of him leaving or coming back. the name was misspelled, so i would like to talk to you more about this case, how this man left works he went. and when we say there was no broader plot here, i just don't know mao -- how in the world we know that at this early stage. >> this son the first time we heard of this, a misspelling on a watch list. he should have been on a list if we had the potential threat.

>> and bin laden said the war was receding and we are all safe. >> new information tonight about the surviving bombing suspect, dzhokhar tsarnaev. he remains in custody in a boston hospital. we are live outside the hospital with the latest. eric. >> good evening, greta. dzhokhar tsarnaev is now in the hospital behind me. he has been since the shootout. we are told he's getting better hymns condition is upgraded from serious and stable to fair condition. that's a good prognosis. he has that wound to his throat, but while he is in the hospital room he's apparently being questioned by authorities. there are various reports about what he is finally saying. he reportedly claims that he and his brother did it themselves. that they got the information to carry this out from the internet. they claim reportedly that they were not paid by any other terror group. they did this alone and they got the information for the bombs from the al-qaeda-linked

internet magazine "inspire." there are many who can't believe that. they don't believe they could carry it out without any type of financing or help. that's part of the widespread global investigation. take a look tonight at these amazing photos. the computer shows the shootout early morning friday that occurred with the brothers and police in watertown. they were taken by andrew. he was sitting in his home, he says, when he grabbed his i-phone as he heard the gunfire. look at the first photo. it actually appears to show the brothers crouching in front of a stolen black s.u.v. see them scratching on the upper part of your screen in the gun fire position. they are said to be shooting at the police. second photo shows that. police cars down the street when they stopped, waiting for backup to take the pair on. here's the third photo. he said it shows the pressure cooker bomb that circled and rolled before it exploded. he said when it exploded the street was filled with smoke just like we saw on the tape of

the marathon. he sad damage arelan, the older brother, started charging the cops and running down the street and firing. police said when he ran out of bullets they tackled them. then look at the upper par of the screen. it shows tamerlan on the ground or a figure on the ground and apparently dzhokhar is in the car speeding toward police allegedly trying to kill them. instead police say he ran over tamerlan and killed his brother. tonight, greta, here in boston it is a cold, rainy evening. a somber day. the city enveloped in sadness because of the funeral of a little boy. there were two funerals today, one 8-year-old martin richards, he was laid to rest. 500 people attending his funeral. children were crying and his parents thinking the nation for the outpouring of love and sport. the pitt campus police officer sean collier was also laid to west. he was ambushed by the brother as he sat in his car. tonight joe biden is his wife

will be at pitt -- at mit for the memorial for the police officer. and greta, one note said to sean collier, you will always live in our hearts forever. quite a scene there and here tonight. greta. >> eric, a clarification. is he being questioned today or are we just learning today what he said yesterday and the day before? >> well, there are just reports that have been coming out today and last night about what he allegedly is telling authorities. we have no information on exactly if he was questioned today. but there are various reports about what he is telling, apparently telling authorities by allegedly writing some of this stuff down because of that throat injury that he suffered when he was in that boat when he was caught. but i'm sure a lot more will be coming out over the next few days. >> they said there was a controversy over the miranda rights and i want to know if he was talking post miranda or not

but it sounds like this was premiranda by the magistrate. eric, thank you. >> all right. >> and more controversy surfacing tonight over tamerlan tsarnaev's 2010 trip to russia. how much did homeland know? here's what january -- janet napolitano said today. >> the system pinged when he was leaving the united states. by the time he returned all investigations -- the matter had been closed. >> but senator lindsey graham said the fbi claimed to know nothing, yes, nothing about the trip and tonight the fbi and homeland security briefing lawmakers. congressman jason chase is on the house homeland security committee. he joins us. nice to see you, sir. >> thanks, greta. >> can you clarify or do you know whether or not he mentioned going out of the united states? there's some confusion over what senator lindsay graham said and what the secretary said. >> i don't know what the secretary means when she said ping. what is clear to me from my past

experience, the united states of america has no viable entry-exit system. we aren't able to track people as they leave and depart the country and when they come back in the country. sometimes we can see them and have visibility when they are traveling via air burke as we are seeing on the southwest border and up in canada, that's a real problem. when she says ping, against what? that's the key question. >> it must be when he boarded the plane using the passport. must be some manifest i would assume there's some database at that point because he didn't walk to russia. >> but senator graham is aptly pointing out, the story has really change the just over a 48 hour period. i don't think there's any clarity tonight as to what was quote, unquote, pinged because obviously something didn't work. something didn't end up being deciphered along the way. this person he have delinquent to russia for an extended peer of time and how does that match-up with what the russians supposedly toldnous my guess is we don't get many communications

from the russians saying look out for this person. >> i assume if russia told us to lookout for this guy and the fbi went to talk to him, and he then boards the plane and pension and lets us know he's leaving the country and heading for russia, i would think we would notify russia he's coming your way and russia would follow him on the other end and know what he was doing for six months. that would make the most sense if you were really concerned about this person. >> and that's what we still don't know. granted, it happened just over a week ago. the authorities need time to continue to do their job but this is one of the big key questions of which we don't have any answers yesterday. >> do you expect that there will be oversight hearings to find out what exactly the fbi did when they were dispatched to go out to talk to him the first time to see if whether or not they really missed something? if they missed something here, there is the risk they are missing a lot of things a lot of places. >> exactly. there are probably tens of thousands of people who fall

into this category. that's my concern. i don't know how you define the parameters of this. but this so-called watch list, what does that really mean? what do they with the watch list? >> you don't know what the watch list is? >> we know what the watch list is, we just don't know what they do with it. what would score somebody as being a higher threat as opposed to a lower threat. and when the secretary comes up with the word ping, there's no definition to that. it's a new term as far as i am concerned and she needs to define what that means and what somebody does about it >> any information about where the two got radicalized? >> that's the other core question. to suggest they went to high school in massachusetts and decided to surf a website and came one the ideas and carry out a bombing i think stretches the imagination. there's a lot more that was revealed and talked about in the classified briefing that i can't talk about, but there is more.

and most people believe it is more up and beyond two individuals or two brothers going awry. there are more people of that gone through the process that we should be paying a lot more attention to. >> that's the peculiar thing about t fbi missing this one and having been it happened off by the russians. maybe i would have missed it too, if i got sent up there, i don't know. but the fbi did a bang-up job after the bombing in making the arrest and making things safe. i give them enormous credit for that. but the fact it fell through the cracks is somewhat -- not somewhat, it is alarming. >> everybody is cheering the fbi on, the men and women doing these things a lot of this is homeland security. a lot of this is the counterterrorism effort. it's not all the fbi's responsibility to do all of this. we have a homeland security department with 250,000 people in it. >> why weren't they sent out? why was the fbi sent out and not homeland? >> when you starting to outside of the united states you start to reach into some things there. s a lot of crossover and a lot

of good communication that goes on. but there is a worry there's these step pipes and they don't communicate with each other and they don't show up and raise the red flags. >> let me ask you a question. a preliminary benghazi report came out in the house. the democrats say it's not fair because it's not a democratic section, it's just a republican report. >> don't you love it? the democrats are complaining they don't get to say something. they aren't talking about the quality. and secretary clinton herself signed off on a memo. it's a 46 page interim report. you can link to it on my page. it's a preliminary report. not the end by any means. >> i assume the democrats can respond to the report. >> this is interim report to members of the congress that we issued internally between five different committees. i don't know what the democrats are complaining about. they should be complaining that

we haven't gotten to the truth sooner. i've never heard them make that case. >> it's the next step. this was given to the speaker of the house. what's the neck step? >> the committees need to do some things. ihink you see chairman issa, something in the coming days, maybe tomorrow, hint, hint, and you will see things as they start to play out. >> senator graham wanted one committee to do it, a select committee so it wasn't all the committees piecemeal it together. thanks, sir. >> thanks, greta. what is up with the fbi? tamerlan tsarnaev slipped through the february's fingers when he traveled back and forth to russia. are you worried about the fbi that they are missing other potentially dangerous suspects or do you think this was an isolated incident, just one little mistake? go to gretawire.com and vote in our poll. and right now investigators are scrambling them need to know everything about this case in case more are involved. they want to know what tamerlan

tsarnaev's widow knows. they say katheryn is helping with the investigation and today they spoke on her behalf. >> the injuries and loss of life to people who came to celebrate a race and holiday has caused profound distress and sorrow to katie and her family. the reports of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all. as a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife, katie deeply mourns the pain and loss to innocent victims, students, law enforcement officers, families and our community. in the aftermath of this tragedy, she, her daughter and her family, are trying to come to terms with this event. thank you.

>> live in boston with more. griff, what can you tell me about the now widow, katheryn russ snell. >> hi, greta. tonight we know that katheryn russ sell talking to the authorities, but we don't know what she's telling them and authorities have a lot of questions for her. we know this for sure, and that is that katie, or katheryn has gone through a dramatic transformation in the last three years. in 2010 she dropped out of college, married tamerlan, gave birth to their daughter and converted to islam. a devout muslim wearing the traditional headdress. she didn't have relationships with many, but one neighbor's apartment backs up directly to the tsarnaev house said there was at times quite a temper in katie russell and she could be heard yelling at her husband. >> the only time i would really

hear them was during the summer when our sindows were open and i would hear shrieking from a female voice at times. >> how would you characterize the kind of fights you heard? >> she was extremely hard and she seemed really mad. it would go on for a while at all hours of the night. maybe a handful of times. and then it would simmer down. i really remember her shrieking and yelling. >> and it was angry? >> angry. she was very angry. >> and there is news of another woman, that is the suspect's mother. she, who remains in russia tonight, was arrested last june in 2012 for shoplifting almost $2,000 of clothes from a lord & taylor. there's an outstanding warrant

for her arrest. and we learned tonight in an exclusive piece, written by a young woman who wrote something for foxnews.com, about trips that she took to the tsarnaev home for facial. she was into beauty treatments and a spa set up in the house. she wrote that at times the mom told her about conspiracy theories. she believed that 9/11 was conducted by the american government to make americans dislike muslims, and she writes in the piece, quote, my son knows. you can look it up on the internet. so quite a lot of questions out there. i tried to reach out to some of my law enforcement sources to find out, should the mother come back, because there were wire reports that perhaps shield come back to see her son in the hospital, if she would be immediately arrested, but that would lie with the district attorney who issued the warrant for her.

>> an open warrant, they can pick her up the minute she steps foot on our soil. i can answer that question for you. thank you, griff. the search for more information continues. a tsarnaev family member telling the wall street journal that 19-year-old dzhokhar's parents wanted to help him find a wife. during a trip to russia is when it was going to happen. what can't you tell me about the hunt for wife for dzhokhar, the 19-year-old who is in the hospital tonight? >> well, this was actually told to us by a friend of the family. we do know from speaking with the parents that dzhokhar had a trip planned for may and he was supposed to come over there, but they didn't speak specifically as to what the purpose was of the trip. >> does that mean they were somewhat unhappy with the wife that the older brother chose, katheryn russell, who was an american christian, she converted to become a muslim and, of course, she also gave birth to a child and worked 70, 80 hours aweek while her husband

apparently sat home and made bombs. but was the family unhappy with her? >> you know, i don't -- it's hard for me to say what they thought of tamerlan's choice of a wife. i do know he and his mother were very close, so perhaps she approved of his choice but it's hard to say at this point. what we do know is particularly the mother was concerned that the family was, i think, sort of slipping into some americannized ways and partying and she wanted them to embrace both their heritage and perhaps to deepen their religionosity. >> everything i read about the other one, he seems americannized with a dormatory, he went to parties. he doesn't seem like a devout religious man. >> that's our impression, as well. although it was interested from speaking with people there thera sense that he had changed a little bet between high school and college.

that he had perhaps become a little bit more of a slacker, you might say. but he went to parties, he smoked cigarettes, he drank. and we spoke with a recent graduate of the college where he attended who had run a muslim student organization. he said dzhokhar showed up once and wasn't taking things seriously and embraced a lot of behaviors that devout muslims do not, such as drinking. so it's hard to sort of understand how this person on the outside, if indeed he is behind these attacks, it's shard to understand how that transition happened. although we are told that he did certainly look up to his brother. >> jennifer, thank you. and straight ahead, new and more suspicions about tamerlan tsarnaev. could the now dead accused bomber be the key to an unsolved triple murder? one of the victims, his throat slit, was his boxing partner.

>> a brutal, three men got their throats slit. they were murdered. it happened in massachusetts in 2011 on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. it's still unsolved. but here is why the triple murder is suddenly getting lots of new attention. one of the victims was the best friend of tamerlan tsarnaev. the new question, of course, is the accused bomber have anything to do with the three vicious murders? our special correspondent for news week and the daily beast joins us. >> good evening. >> what can you first tell me about this murder? >> the three young men were found in an apartment in massachusetts with their throats all cut. there were no witnesses to the crime. they say the police thought it was -- or they suggest it had looked like a drug rip-off, but some of the complications were that first of all there was $5,000 in cash left lying around the apartment and second of all,

the bodies were covered with marijuana. it has remained unsolved for a year and a half. all of a sudden you find out that one of the victims, brendan, was -- had been introduced by tamerlan as his best friend. so you have two horrific acts of violence, you have the terrific murder of the three young men with their throats cut, and you have the bombing in boston. and this guy tamerlan. >> of course, i also read someplace that tamerlan didn't go to his funeral or to his wake. >> i was just going to say that. >> which was suspicious to some. >> and some say that means he didn't do it because if he did do it, then he would go to the wake to make it look like no one think he didn't do it. but i think for him not to go at all to the funeral or the wake suggests that there was something personal going on to me anyway. >> the thing that's curious to me, i don't know how one person, one man could kill three other

men slit their throats. i could see him in busting in and shooting them but slitting their throats would take time. >> i agree with you there. but if you have a gun, and these were not street guys. these were kind of perpetual college students, pothead kind of guys. and i don't think -- it would have been a little tougher to do that in brooklyn than walltown. if you have a gun, you can get people to do remarkable things. the one guy, brendan mess, was a big martial arts guy, but still with a gun. and we know that tamerlan was able to get a hold of a gun. >> indeed, we do. michael, thank you. i'm sure the police will be all over this one and maybe even trying to -- maybe this will get solved. >> thank you. >> thanks for joining us. coming up, why did the fbi -- how did the fbi think they learned how to build the bombs? that's next. and are they making mistakes in

>> tonight fbi says they have no evidence that the brothers were connected to any terror groups. we know the older brother spent six months last month in russia. was he trained to make bombs when he was there or is there another possible bomb training source? perhaps the al-qaeda online magazine "inspire?" we are joined by tayte: what is this magazine inspire? >> it was done by the american jihadists. one was killed in a drone strike last year. he and several other sort of high-tech guys decide when had they wanted to do was to target english speaking young american muslim men. so they came up with this

magazine, inspire. it's really sort of, i don't know, like martha stewart living for jihadists wanna abouts. it's from profile to what kind of cool clothes to wear to how to decorate your apartment, how to build a bomb in the kitchen of your mom. so it's a lifestyle thing. it's not just how to build a bomb, but it's how to be a jihadist. they have four issues a year. the original create torsion of it are dead. there's a new group coming out with the latest issues. and they really have decided to target what they wanted. which is what? >> it's american citizens or americans who can move around to american society, speak english, and it's their substitute for the fact that al-qaida core is sort of finished. bin laden is gone and a leadership is gone so they know the next wave is americans. how do you target those young,

angry muslim men who are disaffected, whatever their problems are, and how do you get them slowly, but surely, to become radicalized and to carry out attacks alone in a small group and show you thousand do it? >> all right. in addition to -- i mean, if that's how they did it, if that was one of the ways or if that was an influence, i also want to talk a little bit for a second about their family life. their mother, who apparently was -- she was picked up for shoplifting at lord & taylors, a warrant went out for her. she probably didn't show up for court and which is why she got the warrant. she took off. but before she took off for russia, she was running a spa in her home, wasn't she? >> yeah. in fact my daughter, she said a friend of mine knows the terrorist. the gal's name is alisa. i got her to write an article for foxnews.com. it's fascinating reading because alisa and her mom would go to the terrorist's house, their apartment a couple times a year

over a five year period to get facials so they got to know the family. they got no know the mom and daughter and they saw the family go from a normal immigrant families everybody working hard, the kids getting scholarships to private, to really good schools, to slowly but surely becoming very religiously devout, to becoming religiousdel lots, to the end of the day talking about conspiracy theories, september 1ing isth was plotted by americans and it was a manufactured thing to have an excuse to kill muslims. it's a character study. great reading. >> did she mention anything about websites, either of the young men went to websites or the mother went to websites, anything to sort of loop that around? >> alisa asked the mother how -- what are you saying about americans wanting to kill muslims? and the mother said it's on the internet. my son showed me and she showed her the websites that they would

go to. the other thing is alisa asked her well why did you come to america? she said my husband and i were political activists in chechnya. my husband did something and we had to leave chechnya. it's already a family that was politically, you know, politically active and in chechnya politically active means you are trying to overthrow the government or trying get a new government. so they are already a family that's politically activated, and they then become religion us zealots and then jihaddists. >> kt, thank you. >> thank you. >> and the obama administration ignoring calls for dzhokhar to be considered an enemy combatant. yesterday he was read his rights. was that a mistake? karl rove joins us. nice to see you. >> nice to see you, greta. >> the two young men were caught on tape putting the bomb on the ground or something we believe to be a bomb. there's lot of debate whether or

not they should have been given miranda rights, given rights or be treated by enemy combatants. where do you fall in the dispute? >> you need to be careful about protecting the word enemy con battent. that is to say there's a difference between a homegrown self-activated terrorist and somebody who is part of an international. >> al-qaeda or an al-qaeda-like group. what we don't know is was the older brother, damage -- tamerlan, did he have international ties, was he recruited by an al-qaeda group or al-qaeda-like group and given the expertise to do what he did or was he literally in russia on sort of a summer vacation checking things out? we don't know that. we have to count on our government knowing that. i would be, you know, sort of bent toward calling them an enemy combatant unless and until you have done enough to tell you that they have no connections

outside this country. >> would you find it unusual -- like you said, we don't know what our government knows and doesn't know in this investigation. but would you find it unusual for us not to know what he was doing in the six months, at least not today? i assume that we have spread out across russia where he was and at least piece it had together by now? >> well, i'm not certain we have piece it had together. we don't know again how much cooperation there is between the russians and the fbi or other intelligence agencies. but i find it lard to believe that -- hard to believe that knowing about this for three or four days we've run to the bottom of it and checked all the hotel receipts and know where he was and saw the water park where he played. we just don't know yet. now, he we can always go back to calling dzhokhar an enemy combatant if the information is developed that he and his brother did have ties and we want to examine that further. but when in doubt, you know, try to keep open the opportunity of

calling him an enemy combatant as much as possible on the front end so you can squeeze him for whatever information he's got. >> won you expect to have some greater level of cooperation with the russians? if they originally called us and said check him out when he's on your soil, won you think there would be some reciprocity that we would be look working at least with this limited investigation with the russians? >> i would sit expect there is a lot of cross agency cooperation. the russians have a good domestic intelligence agency and a good international intelligence agency. and i'm sure they are cooperating. the question is is how much information do they have? look, they don't -- remember, these jihadist movements inside these separatist regions of the former soviet union of russia, they don't necessarily have the greatest information links inside those groups. remember we had one chechnyan group pull off a very large

attack in the moscow metro years ago and the russians were caught flat-footed, didn't know about it. they didn't necessarily know when he came to his country they were surveilling him and knew what he was doing. they will take a while to piece together. >> it's interesting to know he was on their radar screen enough to notify us and then he went back to russia and was either pinged in the system like the secretary says or who knows. but he was able to slip around and move around without a whole lot of monitoring, it appears. >> yeah. and troubling that we do have a disagreement between the fbi and the department of homeland security. did we know he was going to russia or did we not know? if we did know, it's very problematic that we did know and the department of homeland security did not let the fbi know. you can tell me the case officer on this would not have had his an tenia go up if after interviewing this guy, if after having received intelligence from the russians, interviewing

him and his associates and then fine he was going to the troubled region of russia for six months for god knows what, you can't tell me the fbi wouldn't have their antenna go up if they had known. why did the fbi not notify the homeland secured or vice versa, or you should be put on a list to monitored. >> karl, stay with us. growing angry against travelers tonight and they will be just as angry if not angrier tomorrow. and a stunning turning of events when an elvis impersonator threatened president obama. he just got some great news. that's coming up.

>> a twist in the letterings sent to the senator and president obama. charges were dropped against the man arrested last week.

announced hours after paul curtis was released from custody. his lawyer says he was framed. they found no he have dense of rice in in his home, and now elvis impersonator is speaking publicly. >> i respect president obama. i love my country and would never do anything to pose a threat to him or any other u.s. official. this past week has been a nightmare for myself and my family. my mother has suffered, as well as my children. i would like to get back to normal. >> so far no new arrests. so did the fbi jump the gun in arresting curtis or were they prudent to move fast even though now the charges are dropped? go to gretawire.com.

we are back with karl rove.

karl, the sequestration, you fly a lot, i fly a lot. a lot of people across the country fly a lot. what's going to happen? >> well, this is not because of the sequestration cuts. let's look at the numbers. the faa budget is about $12.75 billion. they have to cut roughly just under 5%, around $600 million as a result of the sequestration. now what they have decide today do is to do it by taking ten percent of the workforce of the faa, air-traffic controller, and furloughing them but they have alternatives. they on their own authority could take two percent of their budget for consultants. they have, you know, $500 million, half a billion dollars in consultants. they could take 2% of that off the top without asking congress for any approval. they have $325 million for supplies and travel. they could take 2% of that and cut it and apply it, reprogram it to cover the air-traffic

controllers. >> let me ask you this. i thought the sequestration wasn't really a cut but slowed growth. >> it is. >> i don't understand why there is any cut to begin with if it was slow growth. you think we would have the status quo, at best. >> look, this is because the budget is bigger. let me give you an example. this is what really gripes me. there is a $474 million new program, a grant program that the faa gives out to sustainable and livable communities. you think when we have an important function like air-traffic controllers, the first thing we do is take our money and apply it to things already underway. instead they are taking $475 million and developing a new grant program. why don't they stop that grant program? why don't they ask congress for the authority to stop the grant program or at least take 2% out of less important things like consultants and supplies and travel. out of those two programs alone, that's 41 million dollars. 2% out of the budgets of the

entire agency, taking 2% out that would reduce it to the 2008 levels of spending when we had planes flying very safely, that would pay for almost half the problem. but they have got new programs. while they are not able to pay for the important things they already got going, they are thinking about, they have established a new program, livable and sustainable communities. it's idiotic. >> tomorrow we will have a lot more unhappy passengers just like today. thank you, karl. >> you bet. >> get ready for this. governor chris christie is singing. go away.hear it for yourself. you know how to mix business... with business. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay the mid-size price.
